The Future of Packaged Media
A New Industry Event
February 3-4, 2009
Hilton Los Angeles
Universal City, California
About the Summit
Mark Twain once quipped, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” He could easily have been talking about packaged media.
The Future of Packaged Media is the new industry event that attempts to dispel the hype that physical optical discs containing entertainment content is quickly disappearing from the marketplace in favor of electronic delivery.
Anyone with a vested interest in the production and distribution of music, movies/TV and videogames for the home will want to attend.
The event is being produced by the Content Delivery and Storage Association, MEDIA-TECH Association, and the Entertainment Merchants Association, the three leading trade organizations representing media manufacturing, equipment suppliers, and the retail supply chain.
The two-day program will address technology, content and marketing challenges. A product showcase will provide attendees with an opportunity to see the latest technology solutions.
Panel sessions and keynote speakers representing Hollywood content producers and others along the packaged media supply chain will discuss the current state of packaged media—both standard and high-definition — and what they're doing to sustain its viability in the future.
